- Buying your staple items like eggs, milk, and bread in bulk will not only help you save money in your groceries budget, but it will also save you lots of time since these items are a constant must-have in your home!
- You can usually save a lot by shopping these kinds of items from stores like Sam's Club or Costco, but ALSO Amazon Fresh!
- Amazon Fresh is Amazon.com's latest extension where you can shop housands of groceries and household essentials available for same-day or next-day delivery right to your doorstep (available in select areas right now). You'll save a ton of items by buying your staple items - and without having to leave your house! A plus!
- Not only does Amazon Fresh have digital coupons to help you save on your staple items, but it also saves you money by reducing the likelihood of making any impulse buys while shopping in-stores! Even the samples at wholesale clubs at Sam's Club or Costco may lure you in to buy something you don't need... ;)
- Many people often take this tip, and flip it on its head. Rather than making your shopping lists according to what you want to make for meals, do the opposite!
- Instead, plan what you will make for meals based on the weekly sales happening in your local area! Grocery stores vary greatly by region, so be sure to check the weekly sales happening at your local grocery stores to see what is on promotion each week!
- Once you know what's on sale, plan your meals around that! It'll save you not only money, but also time and headache trying to come up with things to make!
- And don't worry - most stores naturally rotate their sale items each week, so most likely, you won't be eating the same items every single week :) They do the planning for you!
- This is a big one to not only help the environment, but also your wallet!
- Chances are that you will not finish everything in all the meals you make during the week, so a great way to take advantage of that is to plan eating leftovers in your meal plan! It'll minimize the amount of waste that goes in the trash AND will stretch your groceries budget for that week as well!
- Previously, I have talked about how much I LOVE Google Express, and that still stands!
- Not only can you shop stores like Costco, Target, Walgreens and others from the comfort of your home, but also it all gets shipped to your home! You seriously can't beat not having to leave your house to get your groceries!
- Another advantage of Google Express is that by shopping online, you're more likely to buy only what you need, and reduce the number impulse buys you make! You're not being tempted by walking down aisles and aisles of endless foods and beverages ;)
- Plus, when you sign up now (click HERE!), you'll have a FREE $10 credit to spend on any store you'd like on your first order! Pretty sweet if you wanna try it out :)
